Glad all is well.

This is what the referral letter says, from my GP, to the specialist...


{Quote }Many thanks for your letter, we repeated his UE on 18/1/19 and again on 18/2/19 and the eGFR has remained at either 16 or 17. I would appreciate an urgent renal review. NB renal USS did show an enlarged prostate despite the patient having no urinary symptoms, his PSA is raised at 8 so he has also been urgently referred to urology.


The consultant yesterday, said the MRI appointment will be an urgent one, between 7 and 14 days time.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

I wouldn't worry Harry, you have no other urinary symptoms. The urology consultant has ordered a routine MRI just to be on the safe side, wouldn't be doing his job otherwise.

Quite, but I also have also been referred to see a Kidney specialist to in regards to the eGFR levels.



In fact the hospital has sent me three different appointments for the same thing - obviously they have made an error, so I need to ring on Monday, to sort out which one to attend.


My GP seems to requested a referral, then requested the referral be speeded up - probably the cause of so many appointments being sent out.

So I guest they are checking you for kidney disease, sounds as though you have a very good GP there Harry, he's obviously expedited the appointment for you.

He is a she! They have suddenly taken extra interest since I was rushed into hospital last August with the oesophagus bleed / requested full access to my online medical records. I don't if either was the cause of the extra attention.

Been following your thread Wes, I know how wearing constant pain can be, with me it was my shoulder. I twisted it badly and damaged it getting something heavy out of the loft when moving house years ago. Physio, specialist appointments, steroid injections. Painkillers did nothing because the damage was in the joint itself where there's no actual blood supply to deliver a painkiller. Bothered me for years, surgery was being spoken about but it eventually eased itself. Still got restricted movement in the shoulder and have to be aware of what I try to do with the arm or it flares up and takes weeks to ease again.

Keep us updated Harry, when do you go for your MRI?

So true Steve, so very true, this pain is certainly doing its best to wear me down I tell ya. I'm pretty much at that stage where I will try anything, but not deep heat again... that was a bad idea.

Glad your shoulder has got better Steve, I live in hope my pain burns itself out too. I'm going to try some natural remedies, some herbs and spices that are known for their anti inflammatory properties. It will most probably be a complete waste of time, but I gotta try. If any one knows of any, please let me know.

On Saturday, he said the MRI will be within 1 or 2 weeks. If I remember, I will ask for a copy of the images for my own interest



I rang the hospital first thing this morning about the multiple renal appointments and sorted that out - it was just due to my GP pressing for quick appointments, the hospital's system had a wobbly. I have just the one appointment now, which is next Friday. Same hospital as my head MRI, and so probably the same scanner.

Kidney specialist appointment on Friday next 14:00and this morning I got a phone call to negotiate an MRI scan appointment - that is Tuesday 18:30. Both at St Jimmies, Leeds.


They offered to fit me in Sunday afternoon, but I thought it would be tricky on buses and difficult to park if I drive.
